Identity Management Success

Hello and welcome to the Identity Management Success Podcast!

In this episode, I look at the other side of the UID/password equation and discuss:

• Password context (we’re talking good old text passwords here, not bio, pins, certificates, or other authentication mechanisms
• What is the “ideal” password
• How should a password be constructed
• How often do passwords really need to be changed
• How to create and enforce Password Policies
• And much, much more…

Hello and welcome to the Identity Management Success Podcast!

In this episode, I talk about a mission-critical, but often overlooked aspect of IAM Planning: User ID’s or UID’s. In several of our recent client projects, the questions around things such as:

• What type of UID should we use?
• What is the appropriate length?
• Should users select their own ID’s, or should a system or application make the selection?
• What UID types are the most compatible for the broadest range of systems?
• What UID format best prepares us for Federation
• And much, much more…

are frequently asked.

Don’t miss this opportunity to tune in an often discussed, but frequently under planned aspect of IAM Program Management.
